Problem with Mog

-
I apologize and should amend my earlier rant about Windows Vista and 8, though I still maintain that all Windows operating systems are essentially elaborate hacks that should never have been visited upon ordinary folks.

The real issue with MOG, Pandora or Spotify is that no matter what operating system you're using for streaming music you're competing for bandwidth with the several billion other people on the Internet who are posting images of cute cats to Facebook, downloading gigabytes of pirated software and trying to hack into your bank account.

Expecting uninterrupted streaming over the Internet is like expecting to never have to slow down on the Interstate.

That's not to say the streaming sites are not a wonderful resource. As I said, I listen to MOG several hours a day, but I don't have unrealistic expectations about the quality of the experience considering the cost and the convenience.

I had similar Internet re-connecting problems using my Cisco Linksys E4200V2 router. It seems the Cisco Linksys maximum transmission unit (MTU) Auto 1500 setting causes re-connection issues (sometimes). Cisco Linksys Customer Service said to change the MTU 1500 setting to manual at 1392. As they instructed, I also changed the channel width to 20MHz and the channel to 9 - 2.452GHz. Since I made these changes, the re-connecting problems have gone away. I suggest you review these settings on your router. I suggest you call your Router Mfg and ask them about the MTU setting options. I do not know if this will fix your problem but it is worth a try. Please let us know if it works.

I switched over to using an Apple Airport Extreme router and have no problems. I am using a MAC Book Pro computer.

I've been listening to MOG on my Mac computers at home and in the office for a couple of years, using Verizon FIOS internet. I don't remember any song ever cutting out.

I listen to MOG on Windows 2012 server (likely not the best choice for this) at work for 8+ hours a day for several years and I cannot recall a single problem. However, we have large bandwidth at work so that is likely the reason.

I highly doubt Vista or 8 is the source of the problem.
